agriculturists
Pastoralists primarily rely on herding and managing animals for their livelihood, while cultivators who have domesticated animals focus on both raising animals and farming crops to sustain themselves. Pastoralists are more nomadic in nature, following their animals to different grazing areas, while cultivators tend to have more permanent settlements and may rotate their crops and animals.

Drought affects the life of pastoralists adversely as they survive by rearing animals. These animals require pasturelands to feed. Drought causes the drying of pasture lands as well as destruction of crops. This results in starvation of animals and eventually their death. Pastoralists adopt nomadic lifestyle to escape this kind of situation.
